The NBA and the Euroleague met with the mediation of Fiba. Participants in tripartite negotiations that had passed several weeks ago shared their opinions about progress.
For the first time in all the time, all three sides, including club representatives, sat down to discuss the future of European basketball. There were very productive discussions from which several direct meetings with clubs grew. Everyone agrees that there are opportunities for the growth of the game in Europe, and you just need to understand the best model for this.
We plan to organize the most high -level tournament in Europe. Of course, the Euroleague perfectly worked on the development of basketball, but millions of fans have questions for their model, and their opinion is important. We want to produce conversations with the Euroleague about the best platform while they are interested in them, ”said Mark Teitum, deputy commissioner of the NBA.
It becomes more and more clear that we need to cooperate. I think that this was only the first of many meetings at which we will look for ways to develop our sport. Fiba goals are clear and understandable. It remains only for both leagues to decide on the future. Our story and the fan base should become a powerful basis, ”said the Executive Director of Euroleague Paulus Moteyunas.
